They made a really bad game about a yuppie fighting the power with Infamous Second Son beanie and everything with a bunch of flair.

They sort of went against the grain on what the customer wanted. They were smart enough to ditch the effort to redesign Cole's look and voice into a Yuppie after massive backlash but you could see they direction they wished to go in was different from there customers. You can make games for yourself or those who appeal to select few but don't be suprised when your games don't sell out and your forced to rely on Kickstarters because your ideas don't sell.

When a studio gets bought out by a major publisher that studio no longer considers the customers those who buy the game but rather the publishers who publish there work. When a studio loses sight of who they are making a game for don't be shocked when your Sugga daddy cuts you loose.

Studios were bought because they made games that appealed to there customers the problem is many studios get lost in the shuffle now and instead of making a game for profit that you know people will like these studios are now making "art" that only they and a few other people get.
